England have been told that Maro Itoje has all the attributes required to solve their crisis at openside.Four options in a long-standing problem position have been ruled out of the entire autumn series after James Haskell, Jack Clifford, Sam Jones and Mike Williams sustained significant injuries.The last permutation available to Eddie Jones is to deploy Itoje and Chris Robshaw as flankers either side of Billy Vunipola, thereby reprising the back row that finished Junes third Test against Australia in Sydney.Jones is steadfast in his belief that Robshaw is not an openside, leaving Itoje as the player most likely to be chosen to start at seven against South Africa on Nov. 12.It is a role to which the 21-year-old lock and occasional blindside flanker is unaccustomed, but his Saracens director of rugby is certain he would make a success of the move.Maro is a very destructive player and I think he would do a great job, McCall said.For someone who is as tall as he is, Maros outstanding over the ball. He gets as many turn-overs as anybody in the Premiership. When its not there to get over the ball, Maro is very good at making a mess of opposition attacking breakdowns.He carries the ball well, he reads the game well and hes another line-out option in the back-row. It would make Englands line-out pretty formidable to have a seven like that.Itoje is happy to play in any position if it enables him to add to the seven caps he has won this year.Ive been switching positions for a while now. Its not like asking a winger to play prop. Ive played back-row, Ive played second-row. Its something Im fairly used to, Itoje said.While Englands back row resources are threadbare, they have an embarrassment of riches at lock where Itoje and George Kruis are the first choice pairing and behind them wait the formidable Joe Launchbury and Courtney Lawes.If Itoje does change position Kruis will remain with either Launchbury or Lawes starting in tandem.I think what Eddie is going to look at is who are the best five back-five players he can pick for England because youve got people like Launchbury and Lawes who are playing well, McCall said.Maybe he has less back rows at that level and just getting his five best players on the pitch is what hes thinking.Time will tell with Maro because we havent really seen him yet at openside. Its a good point that he has played so well in the second row there must be a temptation to leave him where he is.Englands mood will also be lifted by more good news with Owen Farrell poised to make his first appearance of the season in Saturdays heavyweight European collision with Toulon.Farrell has been sidelined by a back injury but played a full role in training on Wednesday, including tackling and kicking, and if he shows no ill-effects he is set to start in the south of France.Owen is world-class, the best player in Europe in my opinion, McCall said.Hes been training regularly over the last three weeks and hes a big-game player, so there are lots of things in his favour to pick him.In some players, match fitness can be a concern, but Owen is one of the fittest guys I have ever seen so that doesnt come into to.During the course of his injury he has been able to do enough in terms of his handling not to be too rusty. His personality takes over and he drives the team. Jeff Mathis Jersey . Anthony Calvillo, through 20 CFL seasons, was frequently invincible and largely stoic in the heat of competition. But underneath the professional exterior he was, and is, compellingly human. Jose Leclerc Jersey . The showiest items on Calgarys lot were forwards Mike Cammalleri and Lee Stempniak. Both will be unrestricted free agents this summer. https://www.cheaprangersbaseball.com/1022h-logan-forsythe-jersey-rangers.html . "I wrote 36 on my sheet at the beginning of the game," the Cincinnati coach said, referring the yard line the ball would need to be snapped from. Jim Sundberg Rangers Jersey . -- Catcher Brett Hayes has agreed to a $630,000, one-year contract with the Kansas City Royals, avoiding salary arbitration. Nomar Mazara Jersey .C. -- Rodney Hood connected from all over the court while freshman Jabari Parker was busy swatting shots and scoring in transition. HOOVER, Ala. -- South Carolina coach Will Muschamp didnt try to emulate the wisecracking Steve Spurrier at the microphone.Theres only one Steve Spurrier in life, and Im not it, Muschamp said.He replaced Spurrier as the Gamecocks coach if not as the Southeastern Conference media days resident quip master, but Muschamp is hoping to build on what Spurrier started with the Gamecocks. And to do it quickly.Spurrier proved over the past decade that South Carolina can compete for SEC titles and win the Eastern Division. Muschamp isnt giving himself a time cushion to turn the program back around after a 3-9 season when Spurrier stepped down in October.There is no three-year plan, five-year plan, Muschamp said Thursday at media days. They plan to win now. Ok? Thats my mentality.We make decisions as far as whos going to be the quarterback, whos going to be the running back or who is going to play defensive end, (based on) who helps us win right now. Thats the bottom line, and thats what we plan on doing.That will dictate his choice between Perry Orth and freshman Brandon McIlwain as the starting quarterback. Muschamp and the Gamecocks also must resurrect a defense that was last in the league in total, scoring and run defense.Defense was never the issue for Muschamp during an up-and-down four years at Florida, where his teams struggledd offensively.dddddddddddd He spent last season as Auburns defensive coordinator after getting fired from his first head coaching job.Now that Muschamp is getting another chance in the SEC East, hes trying to avoid a repeat of those struggles in scoring points.Really, it comes back to offense ... to make sure were practicing the right way, whether its staff, scheme, decision-making, whatever, he said. But that falls on my shoulders. So Im taking full responsibility of that and making it better in this situation.South Carolina offensive lineman Mason Zandi isnt worried about what happened at Florida. Muschamp was 28-21, going 11-2 in his second season and following that with four wins.I dont really look at coach Muschamps past, Zandi said. Only a fool trips on whats behind him. Were just looking forward. He came in here with a plan and he stated what he wanted to accomplish, and were going from there.The Gamecocks open with Vanderbilt, whose running back Ralph Webb predicted would definitely win the game in Nashville. That gives South Carolina bulletin board material even before preseason camp starts.Yeah, I saw it but well show up Sept. 1, Zandi said.Now, that was closer to a Spurrier one-liner. ' ' '
